Dragon's Origin

Leading the way was a Great Within expert, with Old Eunuch Li subtly protected in the middle, and the commander, whose name I didn't know, bringing up the rear.

Wang Sheng could tell from this formation that they had definitely found something, and that something was on Old Eunuch Li's person. Otherwise, with Old Eunuch Li's cultivation, would he need these scrubs to protect him?

Walking up to Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng simply nodded at everyone, saying nothing more.

The commander, however, rushed up to Wang Sheng with bloodshot eyes and roared at him.

"It's all because of you. If you hadn't refused to go in, how could we have lost those two brothers?" the commander roared. Not only the commander, but several Great Within experts also looked at Wang Sheng with unkind eyes.

Wang Sheng heard that the team was missing four people, but the commander only blamed Wang Sheng for the deaths of two, meaning that only two had died due to the terrain or the inability to detect danger in time.

This was already one less than Wang Sheng had estimated. Wang Sheng thought they would have to pay the price of at least three people to get to the core area.

"Didn't we agree before we set off?" Wang Sheng didn't care how many royal people died, it had nothing to do with him. Wang Sheng would not participate in any of their secrets.

Firstly, it didn't fit Wang Sheng's ultimate goal, not worth the risk. Secondly, getting too involved could lead to coercion and being silenced. Wang Sheng wasn't that stupid.

"That's why I brought an extra expert with me." Wang Sheng looked calmly at the furious commander, calmly stating the facts that had already happened: "At that time, I was still doing it for Old Eunuch Li's sake. Old Li, did I do anything wrong?"

Wang Sheng asked Old Li, who was sitting there resting. This old guy was so happy to receive Wang Sheng's favor, but now he didn't say a word. Where could you find such a good thing?

Old Eunuch Li tremblingly raised his head, looked at the commander, and then at Wang Sheng. He was about to lower his head to speak, but suddenly he seemed to have discovered something, and he stared at Wang Sheng again, letting out a soft 'huh', staring at Wang Sheng almost unblinkingly.

Seeming to be confirming something, he stared at Wang Sheng for a long time, blinking his eyes several times, and finally confirmed that he had not seen wrongly.

"You didn't do anything wrong!" the old eunuch finally opened his mouth, speaking very slowly: "The commander is just in a bad mood because several brothers died, nothing else."

"Okay!" Wang Sheng nodded, looked at the commander, and ignoring his furious eyes, said without giving him any face: "In that case, for Old Li's sake, I won't pursue the matter!"

The commander was furious. Was this the problem of whether you, kid, would pursue the matter? Just as he was about to do something, the old eunuch coughed softly, and the commander immediately suppressed his anger and sat down to rest, resentfully.

Even when everyone was resting, the old eunuch was the focus of protection. Wang Sheng couldn't even get close without being attacked by several unkind gazes. Obviously, the Great Within experts had found something extraordinary, otherwise they wouldn't be like this.

Wang Sheng didn't provoke the Great Within experts' limit of patience, and took the initiative to move away, then waited quietly. There were still two hours until the agreed time, not yet time to leave.

However, after everyone had rested for a quarter of an hour, the old eunuch spoke: "No need to wait any longer, let's go!"

The old eunuch was now the highest leader, and if he said not to wait, then they wouldn't wait. Wang Sheng had long been prepared to evacuate at any time, and without saying a word, he led the people away.

Wang Sheng didn't say a word along the way, and no one had the interest to ask Wang Sheng questions like they did when they came. They walked very quietly.

After walking silently for six or seven days, calculating the distance, they were probably only a dozen miles away from leaving the Thousand Absolute Territory. Everyone began to rest for the last time in the Thousand Absolute Territory.

Each rest was the same scene, the old eunuch was protected in the middle, and the others were on guard around him. This time was no exception.

Not only Wang Sheng was calculating the distance, but everyone actually had some jungle survival experience and estimated it to be about right. Knowing that the starting point was not far ahead, the commander couldn't help but have different thoughts.

"If I were you, I would honestly finish this journey, and let's part on good terms. There's no need to make things tense." A voice that the commander didn't expect sounded in his ear. Not only the commander, but even the other Great Within experts looked at the speaker in astonishment.

The speaker was not Wang Sheng, but Old Eunuch Li. It was precisely because these words came from his mouth that everyone felt a little unbelievable.

The old eunuch didn't speak behind anyone's back, nor did he speak behind Wang Sheng's back. Wang Sheng also heard these words. To be honest, Wang Sheng himself was a little surprised, originally thinking they would make a move.

"A man cannot stand without trust." The old eunuch's words suddenly became high-sounding: "Don't go back on the agreed conditions, and don't pursue anything. People didn't pry into our secrets, and we don't need to kill them all. It's good for everyone to form a good relationship. What do you think? Lone Wolf!"

"I think so too." Wang Sheng smiled and replied calmly. From the time he met them until now, seven or eight days later, Wang Sheng's tone was always so calm, whether he was talking to Old Eunuch Li or the commander, as if he wasn't worried about anything.

"Moreover, I can guarantee that if you really want to do something, Lone Wolf definitely has a way to make us never leave the Thousand Absolute Territory again, right, Lone Wolf?" The old eunuch's initial words were directed at the commander, but the subsequent question was directly turned to Wang Sheng's side.

"If you say so, then it is!" Wang Sheng still smiled and said calmly.

The commander was shocked. He didn't know what trump cards Wang Sheng had that could leave them less than twenty miles away from the Thousand Absolute Territory. Could it be a super powerful monster? Impossible! If there were monsters, Old Li wouldn't have given any warning.

"I don't know if what I told you last time was right or wrong." Old Eunuch Li suddenly said something inexplicable to Wang Sheng: "But it seems that you have realized it and done it. Congratulations!"

"Thank you for your accomplishment, Old Li." Wang Sheng's answer also made the commander and several Great Within experts feel inexplicable. What were they talking about?

"They are wrong to vent their anger on you. I apologize to you on their behalf." The old eunuch's words were very sincere, even abandoning his usual self-proclaimed 'this old servant', his attitude was already very obvious.

"Easy, easy." Wang Sheng chuckled: "If everyone were like you, Old Li, then the world might be much more peaceful."
